Virtual roundtable planned for June 30 to discuss electric vehicle adoption: As electric vehicle (EV) demand and charging infrastructure increases throughout the state, MEUW is partnering with RENEW Wisconsin to hear from municipalities and electric utilities about thoughts and concerns to plan for EV adoption in your communities.
From planning through procurement, to costs and grid impacts, this is your chance to share your concerns, ask questions, and offer input about your needs! There will be a utility, municipality, and electric vehicle station vendor in attendance to answer questions based on their experiences and help facilitate the planning process.
All are welcome for this one-hour virtual roundtable on Wednesday, June 30, at 10:00 a.m. Pre-registration is necessary to help plan for the discussion. Click here to register.
